1965-1968 General AltiMAX RT43 All-Season Tire 205/70R15
Designed to deliver impressive consumer value through even treadwear and extended treadlife, the General AltiMAX RT43 combines a quiet, comfortable ride with year-round, all-season traction for your Corvette, even in light snow!
The AltiMAX RT43 tire features a Twin Cushion Silica Tread Compound that places a high-density all-season top compound for year-round traction and long wear above a low-density foundation compound that absorbs road vibrations to promote a comfortable ride. The tread compound is molded into a symmetric tread design featuring a continuous center rib and independent tread blocks that use sound wave suppression technology to reduce road noise for a quiet ride. Circumferential grooves and General's Anti-Slip Sipe Design Technology increases the number of biting edges to enhance traction on slippery roads.
The tire's internal structure features a Low Surface Abrasion Technology construction that reduces tread distortion as the tire rolls, resulting in less surface abrasion to promote even treadwear and extend treadlife. Twin steel belts reinforced by one layer of spirally wrapped polyamide stabilize the tread area for good handling while a polyester cord body enhances ride quality. This tire is perfect for year-round, comfortable cruising in your Corvette!
